The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted IBP-9414 "Breakthrough Therapy Designation." This means that the FDA and IBT will work together to bring the new drug to market as soon as possible. The FDA's Breakthrough Therapy Designation is intended to expedite the development and regulatory review of potential new drugs that are intended to treat serious conditions and address significant medical needs. The drug must have achieved preliminary clinical results that demonstrate significant improvements on a clinically significant efficacy measure compared to available drugs. For IBT, it is positive in itself that we are likely to reduce the time to a potential market approval, but in our case it means more than just a time gain. This is because "The Connection Study," our large Phase III study in premature infants, did not show what we expected, but the results of the study nevertheless form the basis for the FDA's decision to grant "Breakthrough Therapy Designation. The study supports the hypothesis that IBP-9414 is safe and has the potential to improve intestinal maturation and thereby reduce serious consequences of intestinal damage, such as NEC and gastrointestinal mortality, in premature infants. IBP-9414 has the potential to address this unmet medical need in a vulnerable population in need of new treatment options.
IBT now has a new compass course to follow. We will now intensify our work towards the market, and IBT has hired a person who will be tasked with identifying global distribution partners for IBP-9414. In April this year, Professor Neu presented results from "The Connection Study" at the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual conference in Hawaii. Communication with healthcare providers will be further intensified. IBT will also conduct additional market research to prepare for the launch of IBP-9414. Another important area is production, and in the first quarter, analytical methods were validated with good results. The analytical methods are used to release the product when it is produced to ensure its quality. The development of additional production-related documentation is planned for 2025.
In April, we completed our clinical study report for "The Connection Study." The FDA will receive this report in the coming days. Additional documentation will be continuously submitted as agreed with the FDA.
IBT has adequate liquidity to support the activities we are currently planning until sometime in mid 2026.
Finally, a big thank you to everyone at IBT; all the hard work has paid off. IBT's IBP-9414 product has completed Phase III and received "Breakthrough" status based on our Phase III results. These are exciting times for IBT.

Infant Bacterial Therapeutics AB ("IBT") is a public company domiciled in Stockholm. The company's Class B shares are since September 10, 2018, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm (IBT B).
IBT is a pharmaceutical company whose purpose is to develop and commercialize drugs for diseases affecting premature babies. During the 13 years of drug development IBT has gained unique expertise in the field of drugs using live bacteria as active substances, this is a key competitive factor for IBT´s development programs.
IBT's main focus is the drug candidate IBP-9414, a formulated bacterial strain naturally found in human breast milk. IBP-9414 is expected to be the first product in a new class of biologics called 'Live Biotherapeutic Products' for premature infants. The drug development of IBP-9414 is currently in its final stages for this important product for premature infants.
The portfolio also includes additional drug candidates, IBP-1016, IBP-1118 and IBP-1122. IBP-1016, for the treatment of gastroschisis, a life-threatening and rare disorder in which children are born with externalized gastrointestinal organs. IBP-1118 to prevent retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), one of the leading causes of blindness in premature infants, and IBP-1122 to eliminate vancomycinresistant enterococci (VRE), which cause antibiotic-resistant hospital infections. Through the development of these drugs, IBT can address medical needs where no sufficient treatments are available.
The development plan for IBP-9414 consisted of two clinical studies: safety and tolerability study and pivotal Phase III study, "The Connection Study". The safety and tolerability study was completed as planned in the fourth quarter of 2017. The subsequent pivotal Phase III study, "The Connection Study", commenced in the second half of 2019 and was completed in July 2024. The results of the study were received in Q3 2024.
The first study was a randomized, double blind, parallel-group, dose escalation placebo-controlled multicenter study to investigate the safety and tolerability of IBP-9414 in premature infants. The study was completed as planned in the fourth quarter of 2017 and showed that IBP-9414 was safe and well tolerated in preterm infants with birth weights between 500 - 2,000 grams.
The completed pivotal Phase III study aimed to prove and document the efficacy of IBP-9414 compared to placebo on the two primary endpoints of preventing NEC and improving sustained feeding tolerance (SFT) in preterm infants with a birth weight of 1,500 grams or less. This study also included a safety evaluation.
In light of the results of the study and the urgent need for effective treatment of preterm infants, IBT will continue to move the drug toward registration in 2025.

IBT's value is to a very large extent dependent on the success of the company's development project IBP-9414 and the granting of marketing authorization by the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and/or the European Medicines Agency ("EMA"). If a marketing authorization for IBP-9414 is not granted, IBT may focus on other projects, but there is a risk that such projects will not succeed.
The majority of IBT's development costs are incurred in foreign currency. If the SEK declines in value against the currency in question, it can have a significant impact on the company's position and earnings. The currencies to which IBT has the greatest exposure are USD and EUR.
The company has investments in foreign currencies and a strengthening of the SEK has a negative currency effect (see notes 1, 2 and 3). The company's equity and cash are considered sufficient for the company's operations until the application for market approval.

The general macroeconomic situation regarding inflation, custom charges and cost increases contributes to some uncertainty and it cannot be excluded that IBT will be affected by this in the future. So far, IBT has countered cost increases by buying USD and EUR.

*Expected future volatility is ascertained by comparison of historical average and median values for comparable listed companies in the same sector as IBT based on analysis in S&P Capital IQ.
During the quarter, Eva Idén, through her company Better & Beyond AB, invoiced the company KSEK 14 for consulting assignments within CMC. Otherwise, there is no significant change in transactions with related parties in relation to the information provided in the annual report 2024.
The company presents some financial measures in the interim report that are not defined in accordance with IFRS. The company believes that these measures provide valuable supplementary information to investors and the company´s management as they enable evaluation of the company´s performance. Since not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be seen as a substitute for measures defined in accordance with IFRS. The key ratios below are not defined in accordance with IFRS unless otherwise stated.
